REGIS REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR 2006 RESULTS

Net Income Increase of 41% Includes $13.9 Million Net Non-Core Benefit

MINNEAPOLIS, August 23, 2006 — Regis Corporation (NYSE:RGS), the global leader in the $150 billion hair care industry, today reported fourth quarter net income of $41.5 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, a 41 percent increase over $29.5 million, or $0.64 per diluted share reported in the comparable period in fiscal 2005. Fourth quarter net income benefited from a $50 million termination fee received from Alberto-Culver and was partially offset by certain non-core charges totaling $28.4 million, detailed below.

The fourth quarter net income benefit from non-core benefits and charges was $13.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, resulting in core earnings of $0.60 per diluted share, meeting the midpoint of the company’s guidance range of $0.58 to $0.62 per diluted share.

On July 12, 2006, the company reported revenues for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2006 of $636 million, up 7.2 percent over the $593 million reported in the comparable period in fiscal 2005.  Same-store sales increased 0.1 percent for the quarter.

During the quarter, Regis Corporation added a net total of 188 locations. The company constructed 122 salons and franchisees built 80 salons. In addition, Regis acquired 136 salons and one beauty school. The company closed or relocated 147 salons during the quarter.

Full-Year Results

For the full year, revenues totaled $2.4 billion, up 11 percent compared to $2.2 billion during fiscal year 2005. Same-store sales for the full year increased 0.4 percent. Net income increased 70 percent to $110 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, including the benefit of a $50 million merger termination fee received from Alberto-Culver with the accompanying offsets totaling $34.1 million, described below.

Net income results for the fiscal year 2005 included a $38.3 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, non-cash write-off for goodwill impairment related to the company’s international franchise operations.

“Simply put, our fiscal year 2006 results were unacceptable for Regis Corporation,” commented Paul D. Finkelstein, chairman and chief executive officer. “We are committed to improving operational results.”

During the year, the company added a net total of 484 locations. Regis constructed 531 salons and franchisees built 257 salons. In fiscal 2006, the company acquired 290 corporate salons (including 142 franchise buybacks), 30 beauty schools and purchased seven of its franchised hair restoration centers from franchisees. Regis closed or relocated 482 corporate and franchised locations. As of June 30, 2006, Regis Corporation owned or franchised 11,477 worldwide locations.

Fourth Quarter Non-Core Detail

During the fourth quarter, Regis Corporation recorded the following non-core benefits and charges:

Fourth quarter non-core benefit;

·        $50 million termination fee received from Alberto-Culver

Fourth quarter non-core charges totaled $28.4 million;

·        $10.6 million of transaction costs related to the terminated merger

·        $2.8 million wage and hour settlement

·        $6.5 million charge related to 64 salon closures

·        $3.3 million of incremental reserve for underperforming assets

·        $4.3 million write-off of Cool Cuts 4 Kids equity investment

·        $0.9 million in severance for two executives

Details are described below.

The company recorded the receipt of a $50 million termination fee and various transaction expenses related to the terminated merger agreement with Alberto-Culver during the fourth quarter. During the third quarter, the company recorded $5.7 million of transaction costs related to this terminated transaction. During the fourth quarter, the company recorded an additional $10.6 million of transaction expenses, in-line with the company’s expectations.

As previously noted, the company was engaged in a wage and hour lawsuit. In June 2006, the company settled the suit for $2.8 million. While the company does not admit any liability in this matter, management determined that the cost to defend its position coupled with the distraction created by the litigation exceeded the $2.8 million cost to settle the lawsuit.

The fourth quarter closure of 64 underperforming salons resulted in $6.5 million of non-core expense. The underperforming salons were primarily mall-based concepts, such as Regis and MasterCuts. As a result of these closures, the company wrote-off $2.4 million in assets. The remaining average lease life for these locations was three years. As a result, Regis paid $4.1 million to buyout these leases.

During fiscal year 2005, the company acquired an interest of less than 20 percent in privately held Cool Cuts 4 Kids, Inc. through the acquisition of $4.3 million of preferred stock. The development of this children’s salon concept has not proceeded as anticipated and as a result, the company wrote off the entire investment. However, should the financial condition of Cool Cuts 4 Kids improve, Regis Corporation may exercise its call provision to purchase the company in 2008.

First Quarter 2007 Outlook

The following outlook pertains to the fiscal first quarter ending September 30, 2006:

·Earnings per diluted share are forecasted to be in a range of $0.44 to $0.48, compared to $0.48 a year ago.

·Consolidated revenue is forecasted to grow eight percent to nine percent to a range of $630 million to $635 million compared to $584 million a year ago.

·Consolidated same-store sales are forecasted to be in a range of negative 1.0 percent to flat.

Updated Fiscal Year 2007 Outlook

The following outlook pertains to the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007:

·Excluding accretion from future possible acquisitions, earnings per diluted share are forecasted to be in a range of $2.22 to $2.34.

·Excluding revenue from future possible acquisitions, consolidated revenue is forecasted to grow eight percent to $2.6 billion.

·Consolidated same-store sales are forecasted to increase to a range of 1.0 to 2.0 percent.
